1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Amino-acid-derived arylpropionamide androgen receptor (AR) modulators, termed EPic AR modulators, have been developed through an efficient 2-3 step synthesis from commercially available enantioenriched amino acid starting materials. This modular route delivers gram-scale quantities of the targets in excellent yield and with high enantiomeric excess (>99% ee), overcoming limitations in the enantioselective preparation of selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) and antiandrogens (AAs) while unlocking the previously invariant α-amido heteroatom for structural diversification. Binding assays reveal strong AR affinity for several analogs. Initial validation through cellular reporter assays demonstrates tunable antagonism, with select compounds exhibiting a distinctive biphasic profile: low-efficacy partial agonism at low concentrations that transitions to antagonism at higher doses. These results establish a powerful, operationally simple platform for the rapid generation of stereochemically defined AR modulators, offering new opportunities for next-generation therapeutics in muscle-wasting disorders, oncology supportive care, and androgen-related diseases.
